Really don't know what's tony doing in the first gif. He literally moved his arm to get locked into the head and arm choke

Can someone with grappling experience explain what Tony tried to do? Legit question

 

[Wreckless]

Lmao damn.

Tony needs to retire

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Tony did slightly better than I thought he might overall, but it is time for him to retire imo.

Never gave a fuck about tony other than acknowledging he always brings the fire. That submission was brutal how he was flopping around. I would bet tony post fight career is going to end very very badly

 

[HHJ]

getting subbed by Bobby Green. Thats it for Tony.

Thanks as usual for the gifs

This is absolutely devastating. I used to be one of the biggest Tony fans, but he has really declined so far and so quickly.

He was trying to control Bobby's posture by grabbing his leg, and my guess would be maybe trying to set up a guillotine down the road. There may not have been much thought put into it at all other than it was late in the round and he didn't want to get ground n pounded. If he left his arm where it was (on Bobby's left, instead of moving it to the inside on the right side of his head) that arm was pretty well isolated for other attacks, so it was kind of a pick your poison thing. I'm not flexible enough to try that Eddie Bravo type stuff, but Tony's probably more comfortable with that style of BJJ.

edit: and as far as I know, he didn't need to put his arm on that side of the head to try to control the posture. It's not something I've seen a ton of people do from half guard, either.

First gif is Tony in a nutshell - all flash and no regard for fundamentals. Instead of defending the takedown, he stands straight up (like Till in the Du Plessis fight) and then goes for an Imanari roll (correct me if I'm wrong). When he was young and quick, his unorthodox striking and flow-y grappling made for must-see TV - however, as he slowed down and his reliance on blocking strikes with his chin proved to run its course, it became clear that his style was not going to age well.

Tony “I’d rather sleep than tap, I ain’t no bitch”

Why? Tony has always came across as very narcissistic and a dick. In Tough he showed to be a complete prick. If you respond and say because you fear for his loved ones, I'd agree. But for him? Ok, don't get it.

Ahh.. makes sense.. thanks! So gutted to see Tony losing 6 in a row

But he tapped like one in his last fight.

Sucks. And the level of talent he's losing to is diminishing. He's good enough to be in there, but not good enough to beat anyone that's UFC caliber, it seems.

 

[Slaptastic]

His arm was saying "Hey I'm fine". His legs were saying "tap, tap".
